Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of probability and dynamical systems, especially, effect of noise on dynamical systems. Here are my general interests:

Probability and Stochastic Dynamical Systems.
Stochastic Differential Equations and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations.
Numerical analysis of SDE's and SPDE's.
Asymptotic analysis in stochastic processes and related problems.
Applications to Mathematical Finance

My thesis advisor is Prof. Richard Sowers.

A stochastic Stefan problem (with R. Sowers and Z. Zheng), Journal of Theoretical Probability, accepted and available at Online First, pdf.
Numerical analysis of the stochastic moving boundary problem (with R. Sowers), (submitted)
